Contiki was one of the best decisions I have made. Being able to get to see and learn about so much history in Europe but also being able to enjoy the night life with the best bunch of people. The long days and big bus rides make it all worth it. Highly recommend doing all the extra add on activities this is what makes it worth it

Stress free and super fun! #noregrets

This trip was amazing, having 2 nights at every destination allows you to see and do so much more! Our trip manager, Dora, was the best she was so organised and knowledgeable which made coach and city days extra enjoyable. I reccomend planning your trip so you have a few days before and after the tour to wind down because it is pretty fast paced :)

Wow! Was such an amazing trip and I would recommend it to anyone that was thinking about it. Our trip manager and driver had great knowledge of the places we were going, as well as a great personality and were easy to get along with.
The trip took us to all the main touristy points but also some hidden places as well, would recommend doing all the additional activities to make the most of the trip!!

I had the time of my life Dora and OJ made the tour and was such an experience of a life time. I was able to sample different countries and has inspired me to come back and road trip around and do another Contiki in Greece with a beautiful girl I met on the European inspiration trip.

Fantastic organisation, got to see the world with no stress and with awe.

Sophie was amazing and did her best to give my group all the information she had and made sure everyone had options and ideas of what was happening throughout the whole trip. Making sure everyone felt included and safe.
Would definitely recommend this trip for travellers who want a slow pace trip but still with all the contiki fun.

I felt that Contiki was well worth the money. I also felt that all of the free time add ons were amazing and well planned. I LOVED doing to White Water Rafting in Austria!!

Was really good value for money and included a lot of awesome options and freebies, some of the hotels were disappointing especially in italy but they still made for some great memories. Some of the group add ons worked out to be cheaper if you just went there and booked it yourself with 1 or 2 other people and you could get more out of it e.g $45 per person for 10 mins on gondola in venice with 6 other contiki members or $60 for own boat for 30mins ( up to 6 people max )

The best 19 days of my life!

European Inspiration is truly an all in one experience. Two nights in every city, with great accommodations. The itinerary is jam packed with stuff to do in each location so that you don’t miss out on the tourist experience, yet there’s still ample amounts of free time to carve your own path and do some things that you enjoy. Also, our trip manager Georgia (#contikigeorge) was an absolute delight to have on-board. With her in-depth knowledge of our destinations, great recommendations, high energy, and super positive energy she made the experience all the more better.

The European Inspiration trip was exactly what I thiught it was going to be - it gave me a taste of the different cultures, without being overwhelming. Our Trip Manager and Bus Driver were also both pretty cool.

Fantastic experience and very well executed by the Contiki team!

The trip as a whole was out of this world. Only negative feedback I have is on hotel selection for Amsterdam & Venice stops. The hotel in Amsterdam is miles away from the city centre. We were spending EU50 to get back to the hotel. On a daily budget of EU100 (which is already excessive), this is truly just a pain in the ***.
Venice's hotel is simply unacceptable. Terrible place, hated everything about it and was quiet upset that a single cent of my money was spent on that place.
